App Review: Zombie Highway for iPhone, iPod touch

Are you up for a little mindless zombie fun on your iPhone? Although the zombie genre, both in movies and in video games, has become a bit redundant (but then again, aren’t zombies redundant?), Zombie Highway for the iPhone and iPod touch is a lot of fun and is a no-brainer (pun intended) for only $.99 cents.

Zombie Highway is simple, fun and addicting. The goal is to see how far you can travel down the road before the zombies either flip your car over or you drive smack dab into one of the wrecked vehicles on the post-apocalyptic highway. Several different types of zombies will jump onto the side of your car and you can either shoot them off using one of many assorted weapons you acquire along the way *or* you can scrape them off with the assistance of the wreckage along the road. Either way, be prepared for a little carnage (NOT entirely kid-friendly).

You don’t have to worry about controlling the speed of your vehicle because you are kept at a constant speed during the game. Just tilt your device left or right to steer your car and tap the sides of the screen where the corresponding red triangles are to indicate where you need to aim to blast the zombies off of your car. The game even lets you log in to Facebook so you can share your best score — in this case, your distance — and your rank among other Zombie Highway players.

Try Zombie Highway today — it’s only a buck — and see how long you survive!
